Pebble exclusively launches through Best Buy online and US stores

Pebble announced on Tuesday that its Kickstarter-born smart watch would launch exclusively through Best Buy this summer.

A Jet Black version of the Pebble is now available at Best Buy online. The same model will also land in all US Best Buy stores on 7 July for $149.99 (£99). Pebble also said a Cherry Red colour option will launch in August, while Orange, Grey and Arctic White models are now available for pre-order on its website.

Pebble is a customisable Bluetooth smart watch that works with iOS and Android. For instance, earlier this week, Pebble added native support for Google Hangouts via an update to the Pebble for Android app.

In a press release, Pebble explained that its expansion into retail distribution was "a key step in meeting the tremendous public demand for its crowd-supported e-paper watch for iOS and Android".
